For all you loony couch conservatives, the General Election is not the time to sit home and cry over not having a choice.
If you sit home and the Rats gain the majority in either House, blame yourself. I know I will.
A Republican Rino is still better than a Rat. It gives the Republicans majority status. With that status, we control committees and keep the Rats from starting multitudes of witch-hunting investigations and impeachment procedures. Nothing may get done with or without the RINOs, but its better than having the Rats in control.
If you don't like the RINOs in your district, then the Primaries are the time to get rid of them. It also takes less effort to get rid of a RINO in the primaries. I know some Primaries are over, but a lot are coming up in September. If there is not a conservative to choose from in your District's Primary, than again, that is your fault.
So I don't get flamed too bad, let me say, I don't like RINOs and this thread is not to argue the "cons & cons" of a RINO. I'm just saying hold your nose and vote for your RINO in the General Election. The Republicans absolutely need to keep control of both Houses.
This crap about letting the Rats get control of a House to increase our chances of regaining control in '08 with true conservatives is foolish. Do you really thing the drive-by media will let the public know how bad the Rats are? Hell no.
So vote out your RINOs in the Primary, '06 or '08, or vote for them in the General Election. Don't take a step back and allow the Rats to gain a foot hold. It will be that much harder for conservative in '08. Besides, if you can get a true conservative elected in '08, then he/she has to win in the Primary any ways.
Flame On!!, but please be gentle.

Are we ready to roll with this or not?
We need to contact every state list and start looking for candidates across the country. A couple in each would send a shiver right up their spine.
I just lost my election to another liberal dem and I am thinking about recruiting 1000 people to change to dem and vote for me in the primary in two years.
YOU CAN’T DO THAT IN A ‘STACKED-PRESIDENTIAL’ PRIMARY (It only works in State-wide races)!!!! THAT’S ALL I HAVE TO SAY: :)!
BUMP

BUMP!
Still here and fighting.

Good Luck in your endeavors.
Looks like JimRob saw enough in D.C. a week ago to get FR fired up. He’s looking to start active Chapters to really change things.

The only way to prevent RINO reinfection is to vote only for men and women of good character and whose energy matches that needed for their office at the time. Whether in the primary or the general. Better to vote for the lesser tier candidate if he or she is the only man or woman of honest character, even when the chance of election is slim.
Yep, stick to our conservative values and we can’t go wrong.
[Mr] T
BUMP.
BTTT
Looks like this year we are finally making some head way.
